There is a thread on SMSF property in the general chat form, first rule is to seek advice prior to establishing an smsf to ensure you understand the risks and benefits of SMSF and to determine if an SMSF is right for you.

From there, all guns blazing, get a pre-approval and find a property that is a great long term investment. There are a number of considerations here.

I have property in my smsf and continuing to expand, but it is not for everybody.

hi,
i just set up smsf and got my first smsf property settling end of this month.
Rang a few insurance place and they don't insure SMSF house/property. Anyone that got SMSF property know which insurance companies I can try?
Not sure what the real differences are as I was going to get building insurance and land lord insurance. but in the name of fund and not the director name (Mine).
I got ip and no problem (not smsf)..thanks

Not all insurance is the same. Whether loss of rent due to a defaulting tenant, malicious or accidental damage or circumstances including tenant hardship and death of a tenant, EBM's RentCover insurance protects owners like no other policy.
